How bad was this season

You can’t put Archie and Ditka years together like that
Yes during the 70s any win like a real prize
Mora/Benson changed all of that - we dated to hope and dream (and sometimes even expect)
When Ditka came on board it seemed like the final piece to make us a real contender
Ditka being laughably inept but also obnoxious about it made it much worse than when we were just likable losers

I think this thread is asking something that I’ve been wondering these past few weeks- is it worse to be bad or mediocre?
At this point it’s really hard to tell
